The climb
Passo Giau climbs 9.9 km at an average of 9.3%, gaining 921 m to a summit at 2,233 m. The gradient barely moves: kilometre after kilometre sits within a point of that average, so the figure describes the whole climb rather than smoothing anything out.
The hardest kilometre measures 10.5% and comes in the opening third of the climb, and 9 kilometres of the ascent average more than 8%, one of them above 10%.
Above 2,000 m the air is thin enough to matter: a rider who has not been at altitude loses power over the top of a climb like this regardless of how well it has been paced. In ProPace's stage data it appears on the single stage listed below.
